Chloe wants to cut a 37 in. piece of ribbon into three pieces. The second piece is to be 2 in. longer than the first, and the th
ird piece is to be 3 in. longer than the second. How long will each of the pieces be?
1 answer:
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
